It comes very handy to upload photos to Picasaweb account without the need of Picasa and I succesfully uploaded a mp4 video thing that's not possible with current version of Picasa for linux nor via the (ridiculous) web interface.

The only dependency is python2.6 or Python2.5

The script below will install setuptools for python (if not already installed, if you have python2.5 just edit the script, row 4 to "...-py2.5.egg" and row 9 to "....org/packages/2.5/s/setuptools...") that comes very handy to install a lot of python packages with ease, than use setuptools' easy_install to install googlecl.

Code:

#!/bin/bash

#change to `py2.5` according to your python version
setuptools="setuptools-0.6c11-py2.6.egg"

I changed the pet with a install script since the first was not working, let me know if ti works now, it should install latest version (0.9.10 atm) that the googlecl developer says is available and working through pypi.
